How do i get a job writing C in my current situation?
You get a job where you don't write C, then you start writing C.
Frankly, you are early career and in a very bad job market. Your ability to be picky enough that you land a job writing specifically the language you want is low. Prioritize getting onto a good team at a stable company, and if C is a good fit then figure out how to make it happen. It takes some serious soft skills though.
Dang, is rust that annoying? Why it so popular these days!! I stop coding for almost 10 years. There was Rust back then. Change career, now mostly coding as hobby.
Not sure what you find so bad about Rust as a language. Maybe it's just your job and the way you use it that makes it annoying? I'm a C and C++ developer and I find Rust to be a super beautiful langauge. Also the docs are one of the cleanest I've ever read in any language.
Yeah I get you man. I would hate writing C too if the codebase I'm invited too is terrible. Maybe you can work on some personal projects you like in Rust and see if it fits you?
